Britain's top 20 foodie hot spots

Parents visiting offspring in one of the boarding schools for which Sherborne
is famous are faced with a cornucopia of eateries in the town centre.
Despite the threat of a Tesco opening, there is everything from top-notch
pubs to family-friendly Italian restaurants, where children under 10 eat
free. The ancient market town also hosts a well-subscribed farmers’
market once a month.

“We have had a busy start to the year, and Sherborne’s reputation as a foodie
haven has played a part in that,” says Luke Pender-Cudlip of Knight Frank.
“As well as its markets, the town has a couple of superb delis.”
